The Bulls were not expected to compete this season even with rising stars Zach LaVine, Wendell Carter Jr. and Kris Dunn leading the charge. However, Bulls brass must not have liked in terms of the overall direction from Hoiberg, hence the firing on Monday morning. Jim Boylen will serve as the interim head coach.

Hoiberg had a 115-155 record in his three-plus seasons as Bulls head coach.
